OLYMPIAN SHOWCASE

Apparently there is much outrage that tickets for a demonstration of the prowess of some of the Olympian "athletes" of the Glorious Motherland, plus Hong Kongs own finest, Lai Chok Ko and Ching Li(who lost to China in the Final of the Table Tennis doubles) are trading on the black market for up to ten times the original HK$10 sale price (that is $1.28 or 71pence for Brits).

I'm amazed anyone would have paid the original HK$10 to watch a bit of ping pong, let alone HK$100. In fact I would happily pay HK$1,000 just to guarantee I didn't have to go and see this pathetic and laughable demonstration.
